After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks handled the Lakers 121-103. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
